San Francisco, Calif., Mar. 1942. A large sign reading "I am an American" placed in the window of a store, at 13th and Franklin streets, on December 8, the day after Pearl Harbor. The store was closed following orders to persons of Japanese descent to evacuate from certain West Coast areas. The owner, a University of California graduate, will be housed with hundreds of evacuees in War Relocation Authority centers for the duration of the war
This book is an entertaining way to look at argument, both past and present (Heinrich uses examples from Plato to The Simpson's to his own son/daughter!)
A Hope in the Unseen
Suskind pens a well-written and thought provoking book about a young black boy coming out of urban education to find himself lost in the world of Ivy League. The story is compelling, but the art of language used by the author is amazing. Can be used as a rhetorical strategies analysis OR argument analysis.
